fyi

1. free/not free the product is really free. After the trial period, just send a mail to get a FREE registration key.
2. you probably belong to the guys who just click around and never read the doc. Before you can connect, you have to customize the product. all this stuff is explained in the "Getting started" section of the doc. the product works fine if you install it correctly. be sure to have the OCI option installed on your Oracle client.
